Among the American contemporaries I read with most enjoyment are several North Carolinians. I think the best poetry being written these days is being written by Southerners.

With prose you can incorporate more details, develop scenes, sustain the tension in a special way. Prose has its own speed.

I seem to keep returning to my father in poems because his personality was so extreme, so driven. He did everything to excess.
